already secretary of state john kerry, defense secretary chuck hagel have weighed in. the u.s. on monday flew two b-52 bombers from gauam. they flew right through this air exclusion zone. stayed about an hour in the area and then flew back to guam without notifying the chinese as the china he's demanded themselves didn't file a flight plan, didn't radio the data. nothing. it all passed without event but that may be small comfort for now. tensions in the area center around who controls the air space. whether china or japan controls some islands out in this patch of the east china sea. everyone is claiming that they control them. this is far from resolved. expect to see more flights by the u.s. through this area. making the point that china can make its demands but in international air space, the u.s. military will travel as it sees fit. >> thank you very much. a crucial development for the u.s. especially as it is dealing with what's going on in iran and we have much more on that. there is a huge development on that iran deal later in the program. our third program. 30 years for

what chuck hagel, the defense secretary, has been saying to the leader of the egyptian military general urging calm, clearly egyptian military wanted to go in yesterday and crush those demonstrators, those who supported the ousted president mohamed morsi. but at the same time there was some brutal violence on the streets. so there's limited u.s. options right now. the president did not end u.s. military aid to egypt, certainly did not go that far. he didn't say it was a coup. he said, yes, there was military intervention that removed mohamed morsi, but he wasn't exactly all that democratic, the president suggested, he was taking steps that would avoid the inclusiveness, the full democracy that the u.s. wanted. he did go ahead and cancel next month's scheduled joint exercises, which sends a message to the egyptian military. those exercises supposed to go forward, as you know, every two years. and it does send a message, but certainly the president's trying to walk some sort of middle ground, not going too far but also expressing deep u.s. concern. >> i suppose when you look at the sub te
